Recent Purchase: Miku Expo & NYC Haul

I don’t know why but I somehow keep mistaking today as June 1st but it’s the 31st and I am so confused…

Anyways; I originally planned for this post to be a video but while editing I noticed that my camera didn’t focus properly and the slight blur actually hurts my eyes so I’m going to work on that and see how to better it for future reference.

Therefore, here’s a recent purchase post featuring all the lovely items I purchased during our trip to NYC and Miku Expo! ❤

A heads up; I did purchase a few more items than that shown today but they were purchased for other people so I don’t feel it necessary to share those items. I also had a budget so I didn’t buy as much stuff due to having participated in the PledgeMusic Campaign and the such. With that said, LET’S GET STARTED!

First up is the Miku Expo Illustration Tote. While I’m not the biggest fan of the illustration, the tote itself is rather cute. I wasn’t intending on purchasing this item but after I had two shirts and other goods in my hand and nowhere to put them…I ended up buying the tote for $15 and it actually held strong through the night. It’s pretty roomy so I will more than likely use it again for like an overnight stay or something. I also ended up decorating it with a teal bow I purchased at Claire’s a while back…it fits really well.(๑•́ ₃ •̀๑)

This was an intentional purchase. I have a weird obsession with small pouches but since I wasn’t planning on spending $50 on a backpack with the same pattern, I’d go ahead with the tiny pouch and use it for smalls like makeup or something. The quality isn’t too bad to be honest and the print is growing on me the more I stare at it. I also like how the logo is sewn onto the pouch also…it adds a slight touch of class.

HERE’S MY FAVORITE PURCHASE FROM THE CONCERT. Okay, my original goal wasn’t to buy a shirt since I already had the shirt from the PledgeMusic Campaign…but LOOK AT THAT ARTWORK. I love it and Anamanaguchi was phenomenal opening and closing the concert. The shirt sizes are unisex and I normally fall between a small and a medium depending on how I want the shirt to fit. I wanted it to fit snug so I bought a small and it fits perfectly and comfortably. The shirt quality is actually quite nice and as I said; the artwork is gorgeous to me. So worth the money spent.

And now…may I introduce you the extremely teal Miku Expo VIP Package?! I actually enjoyed this year’s package whereas some people thought it was a bit cheap. The bag is definitely smaller but overall a better quality. Inside was the Miku Expo VIP Badge and Lanyard which are A LOT better than the VIP badges from 2014 and we actually got them before the concert which was nice. You also get a set of stickers which I don’t know if I’m even going to use because…I’m scared to ruin them. (｡ŏ﹏ŏ) AND TO TOP EVERYTHING OFF…you get a Modify Watch x Miku Expo watch in what I am assuming is a VIP exclusive color. I know these were available during the PledgeMusic Campaign but I don’t recall the band color being available but please let me know in the comments below if I am wrong! I really love this watch though; it’s so comfortable and looks quite nice on my wrist. It’s not a tight fit at all.

Moving on from Miku Expo; I wanted something to remember New York by since I didn’t get myself a souvenir back in2014. I really love the designs Starbucks uses for their You Are Here Collection so I went ahead and purchased their New York mug design and I love it. It wasn’t too expensive either at $11. I’m debating on whether to use it or store it as decoration…THE INTERNAL STRUGGLE IS REAL.

And of course I bought more Miku products. The morning after Miku Expo, we explored NYC and ventured into a game store called J & L Game where they add so many video games and accessories. It was heaven. I ended up finding a Hatsune Miku Project Mirai 2 Accessory Set for only $40 which isn’t awful. It comes with decal stickers, 3DS cases, a carrying pouch for your 3DS and a carrying pouch for your petit Nendroid if you own one. It’s rather cute and I couldn’t resist buying it…one more thing to add to my Miku Collection.

Aaaaand that’s a wrap. I didn’t buy too much and that’s probably a good thing for my bank account. But I hope you enjoyed today’s post! Let me know if you went to Miku Expo and purchased anything! I’m interested to hear about your experiences and thoughts! Anyways, I hope you have a fantastic rest of your week and I’ll see you next time!
